110-Year-Old Letters Tell the Sweetest Love Story

Forget the movies — this real-life romance is one for the ages.

If The Notebook is your favorite romance, then this real-life love story may sweep you away. At least that's what happened to Stephanie Knudson. After finding three letters at a vintage market in Chicago, the 28-year-old got caught up in the oh-so sweet love affair of an American couple from the 1900s.

At first, Knudson only had the few letters. But after reading them aloud to her friend on the train ride home, the heartfelt words caught the ear of a stranger, who asked if there were more. Knudson wasn't sure, but she decided to find out.

After reaching out to the vendor, she ended up buying the rest of the century-old collection. She currently owns 109 letters between Daisy Holzworth and John Henderson, which she posts weekly on her blog in chronological order. She wrote on the site, "They are in such good condition that I feel they must have been very treasured."

The letters, which span the years of 1905 to 1910, are just the beginning of the couple's courtship. Knudson has since learned that they eventually married, and they're currently buried next to each other in a Pennsylvania cemetery. Awww!
